Corvus VII
properly pronounced as
"Seventh Corvus" Bass: Mr. Billy Hoier Guitars: Mr. Jeremy Brasch Drums: Mr. Nate Vivona Guitars, Vocals: Mr. Simon Brush Lyrics Written By Simon Brush and Jason Bauer

Corvus VII plays alternative rock / hard rock and has been together since the dawn of time, however only practicing as a group since January 2006. Nate and Simon met in October of 2005 and began practicing for fun. It wasn't too long before they wrote some halfway-decent songs and began to annoy their friends by playing every time anyone was at the house.
Somewhere deep in their pancreas' they began to feel the void, the void left when good music is nowhere to be found. Jeremy and Simon had been long time friends, and suddenly Simon remembered Jer's legendary shredding method on the guitar. It was too good to be true.... but it was true.
It's now been more than a year and with close to 40 songs to their credit, Seventh Corvus is poised to bring sweet joy to your entire body, via the melodic sounds we emit in the general vicinity of your ears. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire Seventh Corvus.
Jeremy Brasch is a man like no other, one of those people you'll sit back and think about some day in the distant future and say to yourself, "I'm a better person for having known Jeremy." Jeremy has a knack for bringing something totally unexpected, and when he slams it down on the table, the tattered cloth it's wrapped in unfurls just a little bit to spill out the sweet gold and precious jewels inside. We all sit back amazed at the pure genius of his talent, then we laugh ourselves to actual pain from his jokes.
Jeremy Plays a Gibson Les Paul through a Peavey Special. He's also proud of his Roland Guitar Synth.
Our music get it's energy from sheer guts: those guts are the rhythms played by Nate Vivona on the drums. If ever there was a salvation for a boring song, it's Nate's creative strumming on the clear mylar surfaces of his set. If ever there was a shimmering light to guide you through the dark waters of the night, it is the sweet ringing of his cymbals. And if ever your heart ached so hard you thought it would burst out of your very chest, it's probably the massive sound of his double kick. No one would dance to our melodies were it not for the beats that Nate sends out through the atmosphere, touching you deep inside your soul, and other various sundry places..
Nate plays Yamaha drums with Evans heads, preferring Sabian Cymbals
Simon hopes he is the heart of the band. He aches to write good music in a world where the music has been overtaken by things other than sheer delight in sweet melodic entertainment. His songs are very much a window into himself, showing the questions and hopes he lives for. He's the one who writes all this stuff, and he spends so much time trying to come across honestly and realistically that he can't actually think of what to write about himself. He'd like to think he's funny and talented, and he hopes that the words he writes encourages those who listen to them. He hopes to be remembered as doing something different and beautiful in a time when everybody is copying everyone else. He hopes his music stands the test of time.
Simon plays and Ibanez electric and a Fender Strat through an Ampeg R212R. He writes with Zebra pens on graph paper.
Billy :There is much speculation that goes on concerning whether God cares about Seventh Corvus. In all arguments that He does not, someone inevitably says, "Then how do you explain Billy?" Let me tell you about Billy: Billy appeared on the scene at just the right time; he brought with him his own Speakon Cable, special feelings for bands we'd never heard of, 8" tall Anime Chicks, and an amazing talent on the bass guitar; I'm gonna be honest with you, Billy completed Seventh Corvus, in a way no previous bass player could have. It is all these things that allow us to overlook his impressions of Mitch Hedberg and Mindless Self Indulgence.
Billy plays a Warwick custom 5-string Corvette Standard through an Ampeg SVT1000 and 4x10HLF cab via a Speakon cable.
Trust us, you're gonna feel like you're sinking your teeth into the amazing spicy chicken of a General Tso's Combination Platter (with white rice and an egg roll) from Dragon 21 when you listen to us*. It's basically an eargasm.
* the reason our music sounds like this is because that's pretty much what we eat all the time. It's our secret to keeping so thin.
